Here's hat #10 for this year's Cap Karma chemo cap project. It's hard to show the swirly pattern of this hat in pictures (there's another picture below). I think I will have to rework this hat using DK weight yarn so that there are more stitches widthwise & heightwise, so that the swirly pattern can show itself better. Ojo is my model tonight, as Pooh Bear is asleep with M. You guys must be sick of seeing stuffed toys & baby blankets in all my pics, lol. It's hard to see or tell, but I tried to continue the pattern into the decrease. If you don't like the way that looks, or don't want to bother, just do the decrease this way: K14, K2Tog; K13, K2Tog; K12, K2Tog; ... ; K1, K2Tog; K2Tog.

This is a snug fitting ladies xs/s size hat. If you want to make it bigger, you should probably cast on an extra 16 stitches (112 stitches total); I haven't tried this myself, but I think that would be a much larger hat.

Marie, I am so glad to have discovered your blog, and to have "met" you. I love your hats and dishcloths, and I will leave the pattern writing to you! I am glad there are people like you to do it for me!

I couldn't have asked for a better pattern. I went on my holiday vacation with nothing more (knitting-wise, at least) than a skein of worsted yarn, a set of circular 8s, and a cable needle... this totally hits the spot. And the cable pattern compliments the variegations in the yarn perfectly! (using Patons SWS in Natural Pink.)
